After receiving the key to her new locker, Melissa made her way to the locker room. She gets changed to her new clothes and stuffs the costume into the bag. As she was walking towards her locker, she almost crashed into Danny, who was just leaving the locker room. She landed on the floor, while her costume landed right next to her locker.
"We've better stop bumping into each other like this", Danny joked as he helped Melissa get to her feet.
" Well, I think it's kind of better if we stop playing 'Hide and go Seek' and introduce ourselves", replied Melissa. She smiled and puts out her hand. "My name is Melissa Simpson. I'm kind of new around here".
Danny took her hand and shook it.
"Danny Messer, welcome to the team", he said in a friendly manner. "And don't worry, I'll try and keep that in mind in the near future".
"Easy for you to say that Danny", Lindsay said as she entered the locker room.
Both Melissa and Danny turned around and saw Lindsay walking towards Danny. She kissed him in front of Melissa.
"So, you're met my fiance already? ", she said happily.
"Wow, I didn't know…. Congratulations!" said Melissa as she hugged Lindsay and Danny. She picked up her things and opens her locker. After a few minutes, Lindsay almost forgot about the message Stella gave her.
"I almost forgot. Stella is still waiting for you Melissa", she said.
"Thank you Lindsay", Melissa said as she closes her locker. She turned to Danny.
"Again, it is nice to meet you", she said and she left the locker room.
Danny was happy to see Lindsay next to him and cuddles her.
"Is it just me, or have you two met before?" asked Lindsay.
"Well, she actually saved my neck just in time, let alone my job for that matter", Danny replied as they head back to work together.
Eight minutes later, Melissa met Stella inside the interrogation room and closes the door.
"Take a seat", said Stella as both she and Melissa sits down opposite each other.
There was silence in the room for a couple of minutes until Flack entered the room.Stella introduced him to Melissa before getting down to business.
"So Melissa", she began. "Can you tell me where you were 48 hours before your parents died?"
"I was sleeping over at a friend's house. My mother and father wanted to know the reason why I wanted to sleep there and not at home so I explained everything. Then they gave me permission to sleep over there", Melissa replied.
Flack was curious about her answer. "And what is the reason for sleeping over your friend's house?" questioned Flack.
Melissa took a deep breath. "I told my parents about the 'Power Rangers' Conference that was held in New York City and that heaps of people are expected to be there. So I told them that since my friend live not far from where the conference was held, my parents gave me permission to sleep over there", she said.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Stella opened the door and saw Lindsay standing with some information. They both talked privately while Melissa sat there, looking nervously first at Flack, then at Stella and Lindsay. Stella returned to her seat.
"We've confirmed your statement with your friend and it turns out to be true. You were at your friend's house at the time", she concluded.
Melissa sighs with relief. "I'm glad that's over". She looks at Flack. "Can I get back to work now?"
"Of course you can", Flack replied. "But I'll let you know if I need you".
Melissa stands up and walks towards the door. Flack stood up. "And thank you for your co operation", he said.
"You're welcome anytime", Melissa replied as she leaves the interrogation room.
